TABLED ITEM - A Zoning Change requested by Burk Collins, from CC3, PUD-C, CN & R20 to PUD-C (planned unit development-commercial) with a SUP for alcoholic beverage sales on 15.856 acres located between Cheek Sparger Rd., Felps Drive, Acuff Lane & Colleyville Blvd. - Colleyville Commons. Case Z-00-027 Commissioner Fletcher moved to remove the case for the table for discussion and reopen the public hearing. Commissioner Collins seconded the motion. The vote being: Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hart Noes: Tyler Barry LeBaron presented the case to the Commission and advised them that the applicant has requested that the case remain tabled so that they can address the concerns of the citizens. Commissioner Fletcher requested that the Economic Developer Manager, Mike Soab, give a presentation to the Commission regarding the economic impact of the project on the City of Colleyville. Mike Soab said that he has asked the applicant to prepare an economic benefit analysis and Mr. Collins is in the process of completing the analysis based upon the plans. He told the Commission about the meeting that was held the previous Monday. Mr. Soab said that the front part of the property was zoned and planned for a commercial project two years ago with a special use permit for alcoholic beverage sales for a restaurant. He said that project is under contract and will not develop as planned. He said that the property is too expensive to develop for a small- low impact use. He said that the rest of the property has not been looked at by someone else to his knowledge. Mr. Soab said that he has worked with the developer since 1996. Commissioner Rutherford asked Mr. Soab to describe what kind of grocery store is planned. Mr. Soab said that the project has three parts - one is a neighborhood market that is a new concept for Wal-Mart. He said that it is a 43,000 s.t. grocery store, not a super Wal-Mart, probably no different from Albertsons, Kroger's, or Tom Thumb. Commissioner Rutherford asked about the economic advantages the grocery store would have. Mr. Soab said that about 35% of the items sold would be taxable and some of the top ten tax payers in the City are the grocery stores. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 3 of 11 Commissioner Edwards asked about the project in relationship to the Master Plan and was told that most of the masterplan indicates commercial use other than three residential lots at Cheek Sparger and Felps. Mike Soab said that he has also asked the applicant to do a traffic analysis. Commissioner Fletcher asked Mr. Soab what the best use of this property would be if this project was not approved. Mr. Soab said that currently the site is a litany of gasoline stations, quick car washes and automotive uses and the CC3 zoning category allows those highway uses. He said that the prior Twin Lakes project was the only project attempted on this property. He said that this is a very tough piece of property to develop because of the wetland issue, the drainage and the traffic light at Antwerp is one of the only positive things about the property. He said that the Master Plan calls for this property to be developed as retail and offices. Mr. Soab said that he found it difficult to believe that a super market would pick this parcel, but because of the location being close to the Hurst market and Tom Thumb it would try to capture the market. Mr. Soab said that Highway 26 has been the focus of the City's recruitment process. Most commercial projects have ended up on the corners of property in surrounding cities like the Minyard project on Highway 26 and Precinct Line Road. He said that lots of companies target the Colleyville market, yet build in neighboring cities. He said that the city has a difficult time in recruiting qualified staff because of not being able to attract quality commercial projects. He said that this would be a geneses project and will help to turn the commercial district into something better. Commissioner Fletcher asked staff about the design standards for the commercial project proposed on the property and if they would have to meet a higher standard than if it were going to be built in another city. Mr. LeBaron said that Colleyville is the only city in the area that has a design standard as a function of the Zoning Ordinance. He said that because the project is a planned unit development, the Commission has the opportunity to customize the standards and can establish whatever point score they desire. Commissioner Rutherford asked if color could be included in the design standards. Mr. LeBaron said that color was not a part of the design standards, but could be addressed as a condition of the PUD. Commissioner Fletcher asked about tree surveys. Mr. LeBaron said that a survey and a mitigation plan will be presented. Commissioner Edwards asked about the wetlands and if the developer has indicated a plan for them. Mr. LeBaron said that the developer has indicated that he will comply with the drainage standards of the city. Commissioner Edwards spoke about Federal standards. Bill Stimmel was present to represent the applicant. He said that they have ordered a traffic study to be done by an independent firm at their expense and it should be completed by the May 22"0 meeting. He said that the economic analysis may be ready by the May 22"d meeting. Commissioner Rutherford told Mr. Stimmel that they need to prepare as much information as Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 4 of 11 possible by the May 22nd meeting. Mr. Stimmel told the Commission about the meeting they held on May 15th with the residents and they are asking for the case to be tabled so that they can respond to the issues that were raised. He also said that they were not surprised by the issues raised by the citizens. Commissioner Fletcher asked if the trees on the property that have been marked were marked to be removed or saved. Mr. Stimmel said that he is not sure who is marking the trees, because their survey was completed over a month ago. He said that he noticed there were utility flags sticking up on Felps and does not believe that they have anything to do with their project. Commissioner Rutherford asked if Mr. Stimmel could find out who is marking the trees. Commissioner Fletcher questioned the applicant about his thoughts on the different type of uses for the property as it relates to mitigating the concerns of the citizens. Mr. Stimmel responded that there was good dialog that came from the meeting held the previous Monday and they are working to address the concerns of the citizens. He said that he did not bring any new charts or diagrams with him tonight as they wanted to address the project as a whole rather than piece- meal anything for tonight's meeting. Commissioner Fletcher commended the applicant for being open and forthright in their proposal and not trying to hide any aspects. He said that if the grocery store was named anything other than Wal-Mart, the applicant would have had a better reception. Mr. Stimmel reiterated that they would address every concern brought forth by the citizens who attended the Monday night meeting. Chairman Hart moved to re-open the public hearing. Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion. The vote being: Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Tyler, Collins, Fletcher, Hart Noes: None Those present wishing to speak were: Steven Knight, 3917 Felps Court, saying that he lived directly across from the project to the southeast and he is not selling his house nor profiting from the development. He said that this issue is very simple to him. He said that he and his neighbors' community is threatened by this project as it involves the intrusion of this business project into their neighborhood with no effective buffers. He said that the other issue is the quality of the development, the store, and the myriad of problems it will bring to their neighborhood. He said that he understands the need to grow the tax base for the city and no one is inherently opposed to commercial development in Colleyville, but it is critical to preserve the fabric of their neighborhoods and not allow business developments to intrude into private residential neighborhoods without proper effective buffers. He said that they do not trust Burk Collins & Company or any other developer to research and tell them what is best for them. He said, "To use a phrase from Mrs. Greer's era, 'You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.'" He said, "Wal-Mart is a Wal-Mart is a Wal-Mart and it doesn't matter what color you paint it, a retail establishment that appeals to low income buyers and our City does not appeal to us." Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 5 of 11 Charles Primer, 207 W. Greenbriar Lane, said that his street will basically become a cut-through if this property becomes a Wal-Mart. He said that he had concerns that a Wal-Mart grocery store will have an economical effect on Kroger's and Albertson's. He said that when we bring Wal-Mart in we will lose the other grocery stores. He said that he would like a business to be brought into the City, that is different from other businesses already here. He stated that they are not opposed to commercial development, but want something good on the site and there needs to be something better than a Wal-Mart that will empty out an entire neighborhood. Mr. Primer said that his street will become an entry point at San Bar and the children's safety will be jeopardized. He said that there are many children. He said that they moved to Colleyville because they like the standard that it has, and they do not want a Wal-Mart in their backyards. Wanda Knight, 3917 Felps Court, said her lot is on the corner of Cheek Sparger and Felps Court and looks directly over into a beautiful wooded area with native 30 - 40 year old Texas trees. She said that she was asked by someone why it would be bad for the project to be built. She said that she responded that he should close his eyes and listen. She said that he described what he heard, and she asked him if he heard the wind with the serenity in the back yard. She said that she told him that is what the neighborhood will lose. Rich Munson, 7905 Hall Johnson Road, expressed concerns about the right kind of developments going into certain areas in town. He spoke about the wetland area and he said that it bothers him that staff does not know the mitigation procedures or Federal requirements for wetlands. He said that one of the ways to mitigate wetlands is to pay money to a Federal agency, and he does not know what a frog or a duck will do with a twenty dollar bill. He said that he is in favor of the site being developed tastefully with the wetland area being incorporated into something nice, not just simply handling the drainage area. John Colby, 4001 Mockingbird, said that he is on the Saddlebrook board of directors. He said that he cannot speak for them, but at their next meeting, they will have a lot of discussion about this project. He said that he is opposed to any development like what is being suggested at this location. He said, "This is not a Wal-Mart community and that is not why any of them moved here." He said that they moved here for the residential, pastoral, country setting, and yet we keep nibbling away at it with things like Wal-Mart and other stuff. Mr. Colby said that there was an election last Saturday, and it should speak to some of us about what is going on in this community. He said that people want to keep it the way it's been and that doesn't mean having a Wal-Mart on every corner. He said, "If you think that we are the only people who are going to oppose this, the people who live right around there, then you're wrong." He said that there are a lot of people up and down Cheek Sparger who do not want the mess the Wal-Mart is going to bring. Chip Pierpont, 2112 Green Briar Lane, said that Mr. Stripling tried to run a pleasant meeting last Monday night, however they were assured that they would be given copies of all the comments and responses. He said that from Mr. Soab's and Mr. Stimmel's comments, they have received comments, but no body else in attendance has received the comments. He said that they were assured that they would be given comments and still hopes that they will be given an opportunity Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 6 of 11 to have them prior to the meeting on May 22nd. He said that he is a civil engineer and brought up the importance of a traffic study, and it is good that it is being done as it is a critical element to the project. He said that an independent study is conducted by a firm that gets paid by somebody. He said that the study would be slanted toward the payer and he would like to be given an opportunity to review the study. He said that this lot lends itself to a lot of different developments and it should blend in with the residences similar to the doctors offices on Brown Trail. He doesn't think that a big company using up all of the land is the right way to go. Mr. Pierpont said the infrastructure that is set up now cannot handle this type of development, traffic load, and trucks. He said that 70% of the people who use the development will access off Cheek Sparger. He said that the traffic study will not show that, but it is the case. He said that when Cheek Sparger was shut down for the expansion at Brown Trail, the detour was run around their neighborhood. But, it wasn't and Green Briar Lane became a race track. He said that they requested speed bumps. Commissioner Edwards asked how Mr. Pierpont derived the figure that 70% of the traffic will enter from Cheek Sparger. He responded that he looked at the conceptual plan that shows the parking layout and the 4 different access points off Cheek Sparger and only one access point on Highway 26. He said that people coming from the west will enter of Cheek Sparger. He said that there could be 10,000 cars on a Saturday and people will not wait for the traffic light to exit onto Highway 26. Jeff,y Clark, 115 W. Green Briar Lane, said that he recently became interested in politics once he found out that Wal-Mart may be built two blocks from his house. He said that the web site quotes the city leaders saying that they promote upscale development along Colleyville Blvd. He said that reading the developers proposal, that has been accomplished with an upscale development anchored by Wal-Mart. He wanted to know if an upscale Wal-Mart has greeters in tuxedos. He said that an upscale Wal-Mart is an oxymoron. He said that there are no plans to upgrade Acuff, Felps, or Cheek Sparger and the area will not support the traffic and cars will cut down his street and possibly hit his two young children. He said that he recently moved here three years ago for a good education for his children in an environment that did not have Wal-Marts on his corner. He said that from the meeting last Monday, the developer is getting a traffic study and an economic study and he finds it hard to believe that these studies were not done prior to planning the development. He said that he votes for a library to be built in this location. Elizabeth Wasson, 3709 Cliffwood Drive, said that she does not oppose economic development in Colleyville, nor in that spot, but she does object to Wal-Mart. She said that she follows the path of least resistance and a straight line is not always the shortest point between two spots. She said that she is guilty to going down to Green Briar rather than turning left at the traffic light at Cheek Sparger, and she often goes through Woodbriar Estates. She said that it is human nature and it will happen when four exits are added to Cheek Sparger. She said that she is strongly opposed to this development and will do what ever she can to stop it. Tim Roberts, 215 Cheek Sparger, said that he is not one of the $90,000 a year people who live in Colleyville, but he is just a simple guy who moved to the area for a little piece of country in the city. He said that he has a half acre with a half acre in the floodway and would like to keep the Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 7 of 11 area as it is. He said that his mailbox has been hit four times and before he remodeled his house, the house got run into. He said that the S curve is very dangerous and the traffic issue with Wal- Mart is a serious concern as he has small children who may run out into the road. He said that there is no lighting in the area. He said that if he knew that this kind of development was going to happen, he would not have gutted and remodeled his house, and he would have moved to somewhere in the country near Alliance Airport. He said that he and his wife are really upset and the markings on the trees mean that they are terminated and the loss of trees is tragic. He said that he will do whatever it takes, a sign in his front yard, to make the public aware what is happening. Georgia Bean, 4004 Steeplechase, said that her house has a back yard that faces this project and she does not want to look at flood lights. She said that she moved there to look at country atmosphere when they retire. She said that the city does not need another grocery store within three miles. George Burns, 4113 Paddington, on the board and there are approximately 20 people at the meeting from Bridlewood Estates. He raised concerns about economic impact, traffic patterns, and delays by developer. He said that a letter to homeowners from Bill Stimmel asked them to not attend and the case would not be discussed. He said that it was not appropriate. Commissioner Fletcher addressed the concerns about the letter from the developer. He said that the Commission re-opened the public hearing at their will and not the will of the developer. And it is great that everyone is airing their opinion so that the Commission can make their decisions based on public testimony. He said that nothing is happening behind closed doors. Steve Land, 204 Briar Cliff Court, said that his back yard looks out onto Cheek Sparger. He said that he has concerns that 7 ~ acres is being taken from residential and turning it into commercial. He spoke about the congestion on Highway 26 and he addressed Burk Collins actions at the meeting last Monday. Glenn Ehlen, president of Woodbridge Estates, with 70% of the development in Hurst and 30% in Colleyville, and is speaking for all of the homeowners. He said that they were active in preventing the go cart track operation and a huge public warehouse storage facility on the corner of Cheek Sparger and Woodbridge Drive. He raised concerns about large trucks making deliveries and traffic patterns on Cheek Sparger. He said that without traffic studies and environmental impact studies with a good plan, the project needs to be turned down in its entirety. Judy Mertel, 3801 Felps Court, said, "A Wal-Mart is a Wal-Mart, and I don't care what you call it or how you dress it up, or what kind of stone you put on the front of it, it's still a Wal-Mart." She raised concerns about the process and how many more weeks she has to come to City Hall. She asked who will make the final decision. Chairman Hart explained the process to her. Carol King, 3616 Green Briar Court, raised concerns about delivery trucks going from the Wal- Mart store in Bedford to the Wal-Mart store in Colleyville and the impact on Cheek Sparger. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 8 of 11 Jim Brown, 3616 Green Briar, quoted the Constitution, the Gettysburg Address, and asked how can an elected government based on those principles ignore the roomful of people. Chairman Hart said that the people were not being ignored and Commissioner Fletcher explained that they were not elected officials, but appointed officials. Mr. Brown expressed concerns about the traffic. Mark Johnson, 3716 San Bar Lane, raised concerns about crime issues, He asked if the city would require a crime study to see if the Wal-Mart will bring in more crime. He said that he understood that the developer wants to rezone for beer and wine sales, and wanted to know if Joe's Bar will go in next to Wal-Mart. He said that not everyone's voice has been heard and notice should be sent to residences within a one mile radius. Jim Straight, 408 Falcon Court, expressed concerns about the dangerous roadway, Cheek Sparger, with a serious S curve, and the lack of visibility for traffic. He also expressed concerns about the additional traffic created by the development. Vernell Greer, 4001 Felps Drive, said that she has lived in the area for 46 years and she does not look forward to looking at the backs of office buildings. Sue Saunders, 4107 Wellington Lane, saying that she moved to Colleyville because of the property values in the city. She said that she wanted to know if the Commission pushes the project through against everyone's wishes, what will happen to the people in the area. She said that they will sell their homes and leave and take their tax dollars somewhere else. She wanted to know where the rezoning will end. She said that they will be forces out of their homes. Joe Mocimo, 215 Cheek Sparger, expressed concerns about the dangerous zone on Cheek Sparger. He said that Colleyville should do what Bedford has done and hire and put a cop at the 20 mph area to enforce the speed limit. He said that in a period of 15 minutes, 100 tickets could be written. Christa Roan, 500 Green Briar Lane, said that she worked 4 Y:1 years for Wal-Mart and is now a police officer. She said that there are thefts associated with Wal-Mart with people running after people in the parking lots when they couldn't get police to respond fast enough. Crime and traffic accidents will require police officers to work more. Curtis McKeown, 4105 Felps Drive, explained his past experience in the retail grocery store business and the need for the business to generate $225,000 per week in sales to make a profit. He expressed concerns about them under cutting other markets. He said that he would like something other than a Wal-Mart at this location, possibly a library or a new city hall. Joe Holcutt, 7703 Pebble Hill, said that at its best, this is replacement. He said Sam Walton's book stresses that they succeed in business because they are a low cost provider in competition with the other grocery stores, and have just in time inventory where trucks come up every day to replenish stock and it leads to traffic. He said that the city does not need another grocery store. He said that it was clear in the election on Saturday that the Commission needs to re-evaluate Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 9 of 11 what the citizens in the city want. He said that the city does not need to be run like a business and the Commission reports to the citizens not share holders. He said that the Commission needs to ask the question, "How are we going to improve the quality of life of people in this city, not how are we going to increase tax revenues, so that we can spend it as we see fit." He said that the Commission should call off the studies by the developer and they should give their opinion at this time. He expressed concerns about the kinds of businesses that are developing on Highway 26. Del Bartlett, 3805 Felps Court, asked what will happen when the 56 reasons that have been raised by the citizens why they don't want the development have been addressed, and they still don't want it. He asked why the case is still being tabled. Chairman Hart explained that they are allowing the developer to address the concerns and he hopes that the case will not need to be continually tabled. Commissioner Edwards said that she has been involved in Planning and Zoning for about ten years. She acknowledge that the citizens are very much opposed to the project, but she has not made a decision yet. She said that commercial development is much more difficult than residential developments and she has heard now and in the past the many things that residents are fearful of and many of those problems will be taken care of in the process. She said that there are 17,000 people in the city and she is not convinced that this is not the best use for the property. She said that there is a possibility that this is a good project for the city as a whole and she is not convinced, consequently she wants to give the developer time to address concerns. Mr. Bartlet responded that the neighbors would be sacrificial lambs if she approves the project. Commissioner Edwards said that she realizes that this is a big issue and she does not want to treat it lightly and the delay is necessary to redesign the project. She said that she has lived in the city for over 20 years and she watched when the houses were being built on Cheek Sparger and wondered why anyone would build a house facing Cheek Sparger. She said that when she moved to the city there were only 5,000 citizens and the reason everyone is here tonight is because within 20 years the population has increased to almost 20,000 and if everyone quit moving to Colleyville, this project would not be an issue. Changes in her area got her involved in Planning and Zoning and she wants to allow the developer time and she will make her decision based on what is best for the entire city. Commissioner Fletcher asked the Chairman to call order as the meeting is beginning to sound like a kangaroo court. He said that the due process is taking place and they have given the citizens the courtesy of listening to them and everyone has an opportunity to speak for and against. He said that earlier, he spoke with an elderly woman who has an interest and he has not heard her speak yet. He said that every citizen should be allowed to speak, not just the loudest voices. Virginia Garrett, 128 Cheek Sparger Road, said that she has lived here 32 years and there were only three houses across from her until Harwood Road. She said that she never objected when all the other people moved to the City and they are as welcomed as can be. She said that she needs to move on as her husband passed away and this is an opportunity for her to find a smaller place. If she cannot sell, her house will become abandoned and will not be a pretty site. The talk of the widening of Cheek Sparger prevented other people from purchasing her property. She said Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 10 of 11 that she is left alone and wants an opportunity to sell and leave the wonderful memories associated with the property. Bruce Frankel, 3705 Sweet Briar Lane, said that he hopes the vision for Colleyville is larger than the grocery stores and quick lubes, and includes the quality of life. Nancy Grabb, 408 Green Briar Lane, said that she will echo what everyone said about traffic and she just doesn't want a Wal-Mart. She said, "We don't want a Wal-Mart that's going to bring in the kind of people that we don't want to be around, because we moved to this area to be away from those people." She said that her neighborhood is like a stepchild to Colleyville because their children go to Bedford schools. She expressed concerns about the lack of buffers. B. J. Michael, 409 Briarcliff Ct., said that he lives in a very safe neighborhood and when he sees four exits from Wal-Mart into his neighborhood, he is afraid. He said that he appreciates the Commissioners' time and concerns and does not want them to sacrifice him or his children. Barry Whitmore, 3805 Oak Briar, said that he owns a landscape business and his office is located in an office warehouse area. He said that he looks for rental space in order to operate his 28 trucks with mostly Hispanic workers. He said that he knows what kind of businesses look for office warehouse uses and when you mix that kind of labor force with that many trucks, working at 6:00 a.m., the people on Acuff and other neighborhoods would be greatly affected. Wanda Knight, 3917 Felps Court, referred to Bill Brown who owned property where trees were marked and he did not give anyone authority to be on his property. She raised concerns about the small animals and wild life that will be displaced because of development. Charles Primer, 207 W. Green Briar Lane, spoke regarding the Master Plan. Joe Moore, 133 Acuff Lane, asked if letters that were received were made available to the Commissioners. He was told that they were. Jason Taylor, 202 W. Greenbriar Lane, opposed due to a move of tax dollars. He said that people in the neighborhood would not shop at Wal-Mart. There being no one else present wishing to speak, the Public Hearing was closed. Commissioner Fletcher said that he did not know if they will reopen the public hearing. Discussion ensued about the need to consider information brought by the applicant to the Commission. Commissioner Fletcher said that he would hate for the public not to be aware if the applicant is unprepared and the case would need to remain tabled. Barry LeBaron said that staff will let people know what the status is. Commissioner Edwards asked that an update be provided with the agenda when it is posted. Commissioner Fletcher said that he received a lot of information at the meeting tonight and would like to respond to the information. He said that he will be formulating an opinion as the evenings go on. Airing the concerns in public is a good thing and Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes - May 8, 2000 Page 11 of11 he would hate to stifle debate prematurely as this is a due process and gives everyone an opportunity to speak. Commissioner Fletcher moved to table the case. Commissioner Collins seconded the motion. The vote being; Ayes: Rutherford, Edwards, Collins, Fletcher, Hart Noes: Tyler 4.
